My purse and carry on bag on the plane?

You put your carry on bag into somewhat of an X-Ray machine, the security guards look through it, and (unless you have a gun or knifes or something in there) you get it back on the other side. Then you go through a metal detector, so I recommend taking out keys and loose change (my mom was taken out due to having a metal gum wrapper in her pocket) before you go through. It's easy, everything will be fine.
